Found another little bug from the Latest Post link. This thread was showing a 6th page but there were only 5 pages so it took me to a blank page. I think I might know why that's happening.

The more I click around, the more I am realizing this is much faster. Its all relative -- the old site loaded perfectly fine, though not breakneck. This new site is closer to breakceck.

I'm trying to make it as instant as possible. Loading a thread takes almost no time. Loading the thread listing is still a little slower than I would like, but still fast. I do have some ideas that should help shave some time off.

Ha. I just came to post that here. Saying it was breakneck speed for individual pages, but the main page with all threads is still a bit slow (faster than before, and its all relative...its usually under 3 seconds for me still).

I also really like the new EDIT button (and subsequent Delete/Save/Cancel).

Yeah, I much prefer the new version of this functionality.

Doesn't look like bullet or numbered outlines are working...

Ok I know what’s happening. I’ll fix that when I get a chance.

I still want to know why you did this to us. This feels like New Coke or Jefferson Starship or Little House, A New Beginning. It's very hard for some of us to handle change.

Were you using the light theme and just don’t like the dark color?

No. Just different font, movement, look, feel...


I'm just kidding with you. You're new settings are a-ok.

Justin,

Thanks a fuckin lot. While admiring your site’s recent improvements on both appearance and speed, I noticed the archive link at the bottom of the page. 

5 hours and 3 joints later, I came out of the rabbit hole and realized that I had a life to live and the waste of time is totally your fault. As I was laughing barely controlled my wife came in and checked on me to make sure I was alright. I laughed a lot, cried a little and want to thank you for a major source of entertainment for a minor league site.


Thanks again

Glad to give you some entertainment with the archive. It's definitely in a major beta mode right now, but I plan to make it better over the next couple months.

I didn’t realize you brought back the old threads. Very good work.

The archive currently looks like shit on a phone. My first task will be to format that a little better.  It looks alright on a big screen.

Just did about 30 minutes worth of updates using Claude (AI) and got the archive in a much better state. Colors are off a bit, and there are a few other things I want to tweak, but it should be much easier to get around than it was yesterday.

Yeah this place use to be fun and have users. Now it’s mostly dead except for the same four people arguing in circles on the Biden and Trump threads.

Ok so I know exactly why the twitter embed when you paste a link doesn't work anymore.
